PEEK materials are used in a wide range of aerospace applications, including the following:
Structural components
PEEK’s lightweight and high-strength characteristics make it an ideal choice for manufacturing structural components inside an airplane, such as seats, door parts, floor supports, etc., which can reduce the weight of the aircraft and improve fuel efficiency while ensuring structural strength.
Engine Parts
Its ability to withstand high temperatures and chemical corrosion makes it ideal for use in the manufacture of bearings, seals, fuel system components, etc., which can withstand the high temperatures of engine operation and the chemical attack of fuel.
Electronic Equipment
Aerospace electronic equipment needs to operate stably in extreme environments. PEEK’s excellent heat resistance and electrical insulation properties make it an ideal material for the manufacture of circuit boards, connectors, and other electronic components to ensure the normal operation of electronic equipment.
Thermal Insulation
PEEK’s heat resistance makes it the first choice for aircraft insulation, especially in high-temperature areas such as near the engine, where it can effectively isolate heat to ensure the safety and performance of the aircraft.
Fuel Systems
With good chemical resistance, PEEK is suitable for the manufacture of fuel system pipes and valves, etc. It can resist the erosion of fuel and ensure the normal operation of the fuel system.
Aerospace Tools
In aerospace maintenance and manufacturing, PEEK is also used to make tools, fixtures and fittings that are highly resistant to abrasion and high temperatures.
